I grew up in Rajasthan, moving between many towns as a child, which meant growing up inside the many moods of the state—the quiet of lakes, the openness of the desert, intricate architecture, and a culture shaped by resilience. Much of this world came to me through stories too, told by my Amma, my paternal grandmother, whose words carried memory, wisdom, and a deep sense of place.

I began my career in the nonprofit space in India, working closely with communities and lived realities. In rural India, I learned that knowledge does not always live in books or reports—it lives in boli, in hands that understand the soil, in water measured with care, and in lives shaped by sabr and samajh. This is a knowledge both practical and inherited, rooted in a deep, respectful understanding of how to live with land, water, and nature.

Over time, this grounding led me toward corporate sustainability, where I now work to bridge purpose and practice—bringing strategy, empathy, and storytelling together to help turn intention into meaningful climate action.

I’m a reader at heart, drawn to stories that linger in the in-between and leave room for silence and reflection. I love cooking and baking, spending time in nature, and taking long walks with my dog. I’m a proud dog mom—my calendar revolves around walks, not the other way around. I can’t sing to save my life, but I love music deeply, and I also have a soft spot for a good murder mystery.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Geography from Miranda House, University of Delhi, a Master’s in Geography with a specialization in Regional Planning from Delhi School of Economics, and an MS in Sustainability Management from Columbia University, New York.
